Over 1,000 partner organisations work with us to provide students from all parts of the University with vital experience of the professional environment. What makes our Professional Training placements so good? They’re built into your degree programme, not bolted onto it.
Our campus hosts major national facilities such as the Ion beam Centre, which academics from other universities come here to use. These facilities allow our Award-winning researchers to change the world in important fields such as safe water, sustainable energy, communication, disease control and health.

As a University of Surrey student you have the opportunity to work or study abroad as part of your degree. There are study exchange opportunities in many subject areas, and the majority of students can choose to work abroad for their Professional Training year.

University of Surrey, University of São Paulo and North Carolina State University are founding members of the University Global Partnership Network . The most recent meeting of the network took place in Raleigh, North Carolina, in January 2013 and focused on ways in which the three universities can undertake joint research into issues related to water – one of the key global issues in the 21st century.
Surrey has Erasmus agreements with 85 European institutions.
The Language & Culture Exchange Scheme (LACES) offers all students and staff the opportunity to learn another language.
It is a 'tandem' network, where you can find a language partner who speaks the language you want to learn or improve. In return you can help them practise your first language.
